Snowmobiling in NH is funded through dedicated funds. The monies we pay come back to support our sport. We receive no money from the state.
We spend money whether there is snow or not preparing for the upcoming season(trail/bridge construction, rebuilds, equipment maintenance/upgrades, and insurance) to name a few.
I think it is very shortsighted to hold out on your sport due to the availability of snow on a yearly basis. IMHO, either you are in or out.
Please join your club early, register your sleds, and volunteer to help maintain and support the sport we all love. It is a fragile balance.

I dont think I would get too hung up on a one line comment, I took it as just a statement of disappointment that last season was not a good one if you ride in the lakes region.
It can be a bit disheartening to drop a bunch on money on registration for multiple sleds and then get almost no riding in. It has happened to me several years as I have been a day rider trailering up and back from MA and some years it feels like a lot of investment and operational cost (hundreds of $$ every year) when you get in little riding. But that doesn’t stop me from getting the sleds and trailer and gear ready every year AND buying my registration!
Lets hope for a blockbuster winter, 3 feet of ice topped by 2 feet of snow on Winni!!!
I want to take another Grand Tour of the lake, maybe a couple!
Not looking to rush summer off by any means, just looking forward to a good sledding season!!!
